For reference, I made what I assumed was a helpful and informative remark in the UDBP thread, and the author took it upon himself to report it. Since then, I've made a follow up remark that better explains what I was reporting, but I have yet to get a response. I know you guys are busy and all, but this is rather irritating. Thanks for reading this. I hope you guys can get this site running better.

Here's an idea: magical lockpicks that you can conjure. We have Bound Pickaxe, so why not Bound Lockpick? I'm only asking this because the traditional magical open lock spells never work no matter which mod I try. There's always a door or a portal that absolutely requires a lockpick of some kind.

Wow. That was rude. I guess you failed history class. Carry on, then. I'll just go and be "immature" without your input.

LOL Rorikstead is an ancient village (many thousands of years old), and it owes its existence to the fact that: a) It's in the middle of freaking nowhere, so nobody cares what happens there. b) It's halfway down probably the most well-traveled road between Whiterun and Solitude. c) Those darn Bretons and their black magic. Nothin' good 'll come o' that.

Fixing everything all at once is a pretty big task for anyone. This is why you need to avoid big mods and overhauls like they're made of radioactive waste. Suddenly, the game starts crashing and no one can help you. You add small mods and gradually increase the size and complexity of the mods until you can't stand the instability. That's your threshold for modding pain. My own threshold is really really low, so I never touch overhauls.

All this progressive idealism is heartwarming, but it doesn't really fit the Skyrim world. Honestly, I wish the game was more regressive. In other words, you steal an apple, the whole town goes berserk and tries to kill you and your entire family and everyone who likes you. The only way to escape the mob is to run to a city of "refuge" and hope you don't get killed by one of the many subtle cutthroats that infest cities of that nature. Now, that would be nice and primitive. More like the way I imagine Skyrim should be.

I'm not aware of any info on all that, and it would be a pain to look that up right at the moment (I don't have HF installed right now and I never bother with kids in the normal houses even when I play HF).

I would say play it vanilla in whatever way seems best for your character, then start maybe thinking about mods. Then DLCs.

Actually, you could probably do that, but only if the video driver control panel supports it (like custom modes for the nvidia driver). Otherwise, you'd be stuck doing that with Wine in Linux (and using a script to set your xrandr settings, etc.).

I agree with you, actually. The thing is, people never save as often as they should, and heaven forbid there be consequences to actions like that (especially attacking a Jarl which should be a strict death penalty offense).

Darn right, but delete a topic? Surely you jest. :devil:

The game's AI is sadly lacking in an "annoyance" disposition that might better reflect that situation. Given the fact that this is Elder Scrolls, you're actually lucky all they do is try to kill you.

It might help if your weapon wasn't so powerful that it killed the guard on the second blow. That's the thing. The guards' disposition is obviously higher than it starts out the game with. So, you can get away with maybe three or four assaults. Try attacking a guard with your fists and see what happens.

I'm surprised you don't have moar bugs, considering you don't have USKP.

LOL I could maybe dream about settings that high. So, you like wasting CPU time, huh? Yeah... Not gonna happen on my system Items you could bump up to 2, but those 5s really ought to be 4 or lower. 2K Textures and RLO on a low-end system? Really? Really? I'm sorry, but I can't take any of that seriously.
